Now here is a sweet that goes down rather well at home. The small bars with a coconut filling are similar to the all time favourite Bounty chocolate that we all love. People get very fussed about the tempering of chocolate etc so I have done away with all that and made a “chococlate flavoured bar”. This will make an extra special gift for someone who likes coconut.
At the moment, home made sweet gifts are really the in thing. Beautifully packaged, slightly rustic looking gifts or perhaps pack them in trendy little chocolate boxes that are now so readily available. You can make them in any shape you want, wrap them up in colourful candy wraps, place them in a gift box or package them in clear cello bags tied up with beautiful ribbon. These bite size bits make great gifts especially at Christmas.
The recipe is very simple and here is how.
CHOCOLATE
filling
16 table spoons coconut
6 table spoon milk powder
5 table spoon icing sugar
little milk ( apx 1 tea spoon)

16 table spoon icing sugar
8 table spoon drinking chocolate
1 table spoon cocoa
1 tea spoon milk
Mix all together, divide them in to small balls and keep them on the side.
Take small amount of the mixture and press with your finger lightly form this to make a shell, fill with the coconut filling press edeges to close.
